Log;

It wasn't the first time Near had left his room, but never before he had been accompanied by anyone, nor had he explored the city as much as he was ready to do today. By exploring the city, he actually meant going to the toy store and back home, but it was still a risk that made him quite uncomfortable.

As for why he had asked the loud girl to come with him, she had seen the previous Near's face, therefore hiding from her would be pointless. L hadn't reported any kind of trouble the previous Near had with her, so he could only conclude that Ran was trustworthy to an extent.

9:50am, Near left his building and headed to the third one, wearing shoes for once.

Ran nodded when Near said he was done and walked to toward the cheek out counter. "It really is~! I just LOVE my Hachi! When I am home I sit on his head or back all the time. He's the statue in the center of Shibuya, if you didn't know." She was glowing with pride and joy as she talked of her town. "Yeah~! Shibuya is just such an awesome place~!"

When they got to the counter she smiled at the clerk, who smiled back and said hello to her by name. "Oh! Do you have money, Near?"

Near knew about Shibuya, of course, but he'd never had the chance to visit it. His stay in Japan had been limited to the SPK headquarters, never leaving them under any kind of circumstance.

"Yes." Placing his beloved toys on the counter with some effort, Near reached out for his pocket and retrieved a small purse. He had been doing small jobs through internet and had procured himself a back account.

The clerk and Ran talked about when the new spring line for Shibuya vibe was coming out, and Ran said she would be sure to set aside a cute purse for the girl. After they were cheeked out and Near had paid, ran walked out of the store. "That was fun~!" Ran stretched a little as she breathed in deeply. "Nothing like shopping." Then she smiled at Near. "you want to get some lunch? On me today."

Now that Ran mentioned it, Near was a bit hungry. But the thought of spending more time outside didn't make him happy.

"If anyone saw us and they asked you who you were having lunch with, what would you tell them?"

Ran thought. "No one really asks me since I have lunch with so many people. They just assume it's a new friend of mine. What do you want me to say?"

That was a relief to know. Being that social, Ran would have many contacts that might prove to be useful eventually.

"Just give them a fake name, like Coil."
